    I had and loved this bass as a 5-stringer (now sold). So I had Mike make me a quad version. Bartolini mag with mid-range control, plus Fishman piezo bridge pickup. Just a wonderfully versatile instrument. I am looking forward to the brown truck arriving in the driveway.

    Nice. Flamed (with a little curl in it,too) on the back. Man,I bet those would absolutely kill fretless. What kinda strings do you plan on using?

    man that's badass... also ditto on the strings... i presume rounds of some type? might i suggest either rotosound 99's (piano strings) or marcus miller fat beams.

    sound clips, PLEASE

    Thanks.
    It is lined fretless and will come with
    TI flats (what I settled on with the fiver).
    Gave me everything from uprighty
    to down and dirty. I do use Roto
    Trubass 88s on another acoustic fretless.

    outstanding choice!

    we have TI flats on one of my son's basses, and he absolutely loves them.

    Nice! I'm waiting for Mike to finish my MK. I'm considering the DK5 also. I have a SK for sale , cant handle 19mm anymore. Mike is a great guy, hope you get to meet him sometime. He builds amazing basses. The tone of the Kinal is just amazing. Check out Luthiers Access Group if you want to demo one.
